Part 4/10:
Returning to the squadron's headquarters, the tensions deepen as a new character, Carter, is introduced as the head of the Spartan program, igniting distrust among the estranged Spartan warriors. JN's instinct tells him there is more to Carter than meets the eye. His warning about the Covenant's strategies goes unheeded, culminating in a clear undercurrent of conspiracy as Carter deliberately sidelines JN and his squad.
The mission assigned to the Cobalt team veers dangerously off-course, spiraling further into darkness as Jon struggles to maintain trust and camaraderie with his team. With ominous losses mounting, it becomes clear that the stakes are about more than just obedience; they reflect a deeper betrayal from within their own ranks.
